Guthrie Flips Off Lauer [VIDEO]: 'Today Show' Hosts Get into Vacuum Cleaning Tiff, Savannah Tweets Obscene Gesture To Matt was 'Only Index Finger!'

During a vacuum segment on Friday morning's episode of NBC's the "Today Show" (March 29), Matt Lauer made a little jab at co-host Savannah Guthrie's cleaning abilities. After the stunning TV journalist fumbled around on-air with the cleaning device, she allegedly flipped the bird at the popular news anchor in response to Lauer's diss. After the amusing "Today Show" clip went viral, Guthrie hit up Twitter, claiming that she wasn't being obscene in any way... it was actually her INDEX finger making the gesture.

Check out the clip originally posted by TMZ here... do fans think Guthrie really flipped off Lauer?

Several Twitter fans believe so:

@JesicaTyas: "Matt Lauer definitely got the finger from co-host Savannah Guthrie this morning... live on 'Today'..."

@toocoolmarybeth: "I feel this is well overdue. Well played Savannah."

Following all of the middle finger hype, Guthrie tweeted:

@SavannahGuthrie "Folks!! That was my INDEX finger! Photo evidence proving my innocence coming! #fingergate #TGIF. We have examined the tape... index finger indeed. #phew."

Either way, Guthrie appeared rather peeved about Lauer's vacuum diss... as TMZ puts it, SAVANNAH GUTHRIE FLIPS OFF Matt Lauer, Your Vacuum Joke Sucks!
